Shared Experience
Your experience
We will stroll through the villa's vegetable garden, immersing ourselves in the olive and fruit trees. In the kitchen, we will prepare spaghetti with fresh pasta, helping ourselves with an antique beechwood guitar. We will then proceed with the cooking of clams taken directly in the morning from the local catch and add the right touch with our lemons, to garnish and give the authentic and perfect scent. We will also discover an ancient traditional Roman recipe for doughnuts, prepared with a secret ingredient that makes them unique. Each guest will have everything they need for the class with Francesca, our expert cesarine.

- Best kept secret in Cicivichevita! Immediately we all felt like family! We enjoyed the cooking, learning, the stories & the laughter we all shared! Great experience! We can’t wait to go back & cook another meal!
- From the time we stepped into Francesca’s home until the time we left, we felt like we were a part of their family! Francesca, her husband, her son and her son’s girlfriend were wonderful and so kind! When we arrived, there were hor d’oeurves and wine waiting for us. We had the best day preparing pasta, cooking and eating a delicious lunch. We hated to leave when it was time. This family definitely pulled at my heart strings! This excursion is definitely a MUST!
- It was an absolutely exciting experience! Francesca and her family are lovely and welcoming people! The place is wonderful. A villa in such a quiet place, furnished with great taste, surrounded by nature, not to mention the olive grove, which was really nice to walk. It was really worth the trip from South Carolina to Civitavecchia for her. Francesca is a teacher that we recommend! The cooking course was in fact very well organized, we had a lot of fun and immersed ourselves in the wonderful Italian cuisine. The result was delicious and the lunch with the family by the fireplace created a really pleasant atmosphere, we would never have expected it. Absolutely recommended! Thank you very much Francesca and family for the food and the warm welcome at your home!
- Cooking together, sharing stories, and raising a glass of wine turned a fun night in Civitavecchia into a memory that will last forever. That’s the magic! Thank u our friend Cesarina Francesca!
- Francesca’s cooking class was absolutely amazing! She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also made the entire experience fun, engaging, and easy to follow. Her passion for cooking really shines through, and she explained everything so clearly. Highly recommend her class to anyone—whether you’re a beginner or more experienced!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Civitavecchia Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchHi, I'm Francesca! Originally from Naples but now living in Rome, I welcome my guests to a villa nestled among olive and fruit trees in the countryside of Civitavecchia. "Those who cook with love nourish more than just the body" – this philosophy guides every dish I prepare. Together, we’ll share the joy of picking vegetables from the garden, while discovering stories and traditions dating back to the early 1900s, offering a unique and authentic experience.
